Battle of Arnprior

The Battle of Arnprior (1296) was a battle of the Anglo-Scots War.

History
King Edward the Longshanks sacked Berwick-upon-Tweed and massacred the Scots of the city, and Edward had shown his military tactics in Wales, England, and France to be effective (as well as cruel and ruthless). There were skirmishes in the Highlands between Scotland and England, and on 27 April 1296 Dunbar fell to a larger and better-trained English army while the Scottish defenders broke ranks and fled. The Scots then stationed militias across the border, and they slowed the English raids; a giant man known for his exploits called William Wallace held off the English while his fellow Scots gathered enough resources to fight Longshanks, who had yet to bring his longbowmen into the war.

The Scots trained troops and advanced their technologies at their town of Arnprior, but English knight Henry de Milford and a few militia launched a sneak attack on the Scottish town. The Scots upgraded their own militia to stronger "men-at-arms", and these troops bested the English, killing all of the attackers. This victory was unfortunately followed by the invasion, storming, and sacking of Perth by the English and the theft of the Stone of Scone and therefore the title of "King of Scotland".
